No annihilation barges. Dual Monoliths. Not sure if I should swap the Tesla Carbines for Gauss Blasters for the extra chance to glance vehicles. It's disheartening how expensive Necron Anti-tank is...

GW posts a whole slew of new FAQs!


It looks like GW got their act together and posted a quite elaborate list of new FAQs.

Some highlights:

  • Tyranids Shadow in the Warp now effects Psykers in transports
  • Hive Guard now ignore cover saves in nearly all regards. The only cover saves you get are from area terrain. Many are claiming this will also ignore smoke launchers, custom force fields, and flat out skimmers/turbo boosting.
  • Jaws of the World Wolf doesn't require a To Hit roll as many were claiming (good for them, bad for Tyranids LOL)
  • I was right about the Doom Scythe. I already took the time to point it out to each individual that said otherwise on that youtube channel. 
  • Lychguard are unable to use their shields against anything that isn't AP3 or lower (which means no reflecting)
  • Lash needs a To Hit roll now. 
  • No flicker fields against difficult terrain rolls.
  • A big nerf to IG and Space marines (mostly) for casting powers out of a transport.
A few other minor changes as well.

Those 6th edition rumors? Fake.

It's been kind of confirmed. Well it was fun while it lasted!

Here is a post that breaks it down and there is a lot of conspiracy going around about whether it's being played off as being fake for IP sake by GW.


This is most certainly, only the beginning.

Doom Scythe - Why do people find this so hard to grasp?


Blue Table Painting put out a recent battle report in which the Necrons and Eldar duke it out. The Necron player brought a long a Doom Scythe and played it exactly as detailed in the codex, however to my surprise, there was a user who claimed they didn't do it right and in fact the doom scythe hits EVERY model if the line touches even only one model in the unit. Below is the conversation that transpired and ultimately I feel like grinding my face off with a belt sander by how people can't comprehend simple instructions.

First off:

Leaked 6th edition rules!



These rumors come from BloodofKittens, which have been quite reliable in the past. I've heard a lot of similar rules to these so they all sort of make sense. Only a few of them raise flags for me being a bit overzealous. 


 HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR
This is a new statline that works with BS to determine if hit a unit
Evasion (EV)
The Evasion Value indicates how hard it is to hit
the model. The smaller and faster, the better the
Evasion Value of a warrior. This characteristic is
not part of the model’s profile as it depends on
the speed of the model. A moving Tau Fire
Warrior has an Evasion of 3, a stationary Land
Raider tank only an Evasion of 1. This
characteristic is described on page 70.
